Friendly reminder that using those 'fancy text' generators to make your name or the text in your posts all pretty makes them inaccessible to screen reader users.to you, they're just cute lettering you can just skip over. For a screen reader user like me, depending on various things, they could come out as'mathematical small bold k mathematical small bold a mathematical small bold r mathematical small bold a', 'letter 126b letter 17dj letter 13y7dwiz' or nothing at all.I'm not sure off the top of my head how they appear on a Braille display but it's bound to be a right mess.I don't particularly call any of those pretty, do you?Plain boring text that is accessible to everyone is the new pretty.#a11y #accessibility

@textfiles @jmac Please ad descriptions to the pics you post Textfiles Jason. If you use a screen reader it’s like you just repeatedly post the word “image.”

I couldn't go past this bit of #MovingPictures without posting it on here..:'The Bursar shrugged. ‘This pot’, he said, peering closely, ‘is actually quite an old Ming vase.’He waited expectantly.‘Why’s it called Ming?’ said the Archchancellor, on cue.The Bursar tapped the pot. It went ming.'#Discworld #TerryPratchett #Bookstodon

Oof this bit always gets me.'‘You know what the greatest tragedy is in the whole world?’ said Ginger, not paying him the least attention. ‘It’s all the people who never find out what it is they really want to do or what it is they’re really good at. It’s all the sons who become blacksmiths because their fathers were blacksmiths. It’s all the people who could be really fantastic flute players who grow old and die without ever seeing a musical instrument, so they become bad ploughmen instead. It’s all the people with talents who never even find out. Maybe they are never even born in a time when it’s even possible to find out.’She took a deep breath. ‘It’s all the people who never get to know what it is they can really be.'That's one of the things I love about Terry Pratchett. He could go from silly wordplays on Ming to stuff like that.#Discworld #TerryPratchett #Bookstodon

@zersiax I think that sums it up. It was fun seeing it do stuff like writing a Shakespeare sonnet about Daft Punk, but that's it.

I’ve never seen the point of using the keycap number emojis like 2️⃣ when there’s numbers right there on your keyboard. I guess normal numbers aren’t pretty enough.

@devinprater Yes. I've been doing my fare share of ranting for years now and there's no point in just putting up with little or nothing happening.

For the people in the back, I'm getting abusive posts thrown at me because I'm a trans woman and dare to be vocal about it online.There's a small but loud contingent of right wing conservative Christians and TERFs who think that trans people shouldn't exist, and they think a good use of their time is to send posts like "You are a degenerate human being" at people. I know this last one in particular is a right wing conservative Christian as it was obvious from their timeline.And before you send stuff like Oh but I'm a nice right wing conservative Christian who'd never do anything like that, I don't trust you. For all I know it's probably one of your mates doing it, or you on an alt account.From now on anyone who's obviously one of those is getting blocked on sight.

Clapping hands emojis between each word of a post: can we not do this please? And this is me being nice.Imagine listening to a post with the words "clapping hands" or e.g. "clapping hands with light skin tone" inserted between each word. That's what it's like when you use a screen reader and come across something like that.So it'd be like this:it clapping hands with light skin tone is clapping hands with light skin tone very clapping hands with light skin tone annoying.
